Olarra was previously in a relationship with Luke Evans. They confirmed their breakup in 2021 after going public with their relationship in 2019. The recent outing has sparked new interest in Olarra’s connection with Pascal, who has known him for years.

The sighting comes at a very busy time in Pascal’s career. He is preparing for the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, directed by Jon Favreau. The movie will bring his character Din Djarin and the fan-favorite Grogu to theaters. It will be the first Star Wars film to hit cinemas since 2019.

Pascal also recently entered the MCU. He played Reed Richards in The Fantastic Four: First Steps and will later appear in Avengers: Doomsday. The film will feature Robert Downey Jr. returning as the villain Doctor Doom, with the project directed by Russo brothers.

Outside of big franchises, Pascal continues to take on different roles. He recently appeared in Materialists alongside Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans. He also starred in Eddington, directed by Ari Aster and featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Emma Stone.

Olarra has also built a career outside sports and now works as an art director for the luxury hotel group Faena. While it is unclear whether the two are just close friends or something more, their public outing has fueled curiosity about their relationship.
